In 50 days, I will be celebrating my 65th birthday, but who’s counting?? Well, that would be ME, because I’m really not looking forward to this birthday, at all. I’ve never had a problem w/ any other milestone birthday but this one is really getting to me. It’s like I’ll be receiving a stamp on my body that says “You’re OLD”. And . . . I’ll be getting my Old Age Pension, just to add insult to injury! I’ve been told many a time that I don’t look my age, nor certainly act it but, regardless, it is what it is.

I would like to ask a special favour of my Cricut buddies. Would you be so kind as to send me a hand-crafted card for this milestone birthday of mine? It would mean sooooo much to me and would help me tremendously in dealing w/ this birthday. I would love to receive 65 cards. How cool would that be, eh? It would certainly help me commemorate this birthday, instead of dreading it.

I can't thank you guys enough!!! I received an overwhelming response to my Birthday Card request. I am over halfway to my goal of receiving 65 cards. You have touched my heart w/ your thoughtfulness, like no words can say.

I would love to send you a card, please PM your addy to me and let me know what are your color preference's and style. Don't feel down, think positive... if you don't look old and you don't act old, well then, you're not old... 65 is just a number!!!

Yeh, I know what you mean about 65 is just a number, but this number is going to be embossed on my body.

Whenever a birthday would be upcoming --- it didn't matter which one --- my mind set was always:- well, at least I'm not THAT old. e.g. Say, when I was turning 62. I would think:- well, at least I'm not 63. And this went on and on and on, until NOW. This one, for whatever reason, made my thinking stop. Hopefully, when I pass this big yucky one, I'll be back to thinking my old way again.

I also have your card done and was going to ask if mailing now would be too early, but I see GG is mailing hers tomorrow. So I'll send mine sometime this week when I can get to the post office. How long does it take to get to Canada from the states?

Wowsers, another one?? No worries about when you mail it. I'll let you know the moment I receive it! Thanks so much!!!

Ladybug.....I so wish I was in a position to do this for you; unfortunately, I am not. I do wish you a very Happy Birthday, though. 65 Isn't so bad. I'm 69. I don't feel it at all....well, I feel it, but I don't. Hope you got that. While I have some health issues that are ongoing, I can still walk, breathe, think, etc.! I don't let those things I have problems with get me down....at least, not so far. I pray I can go on that way for a long time. We never know. It seems the busier you stay, the more you don't think about a lot of things that could make you older, instantly!

Again, wish I was in the position to honor this request.

No worries, Char. Thanks for the birthday greetings!!

Yeh, I know what you mean --- each year it didn't bother me, either, until. . . now.

You're not supposed to be peeking! JULY 13th hold them till July 13th and you will busy for over an hour just opening cards and will be so blessed!

OMG, you had me ROTFLMBO over that one!!! You should've seen me, Sheila --- I was like a kid in a candy store. I couldn't wait to open it. Soooooo glad I did, cuz it put a smile on my face that lasted all day!!!! It's actually sitting beside me right now and I'm still ooh'ing and aaah'ing over it.

I wasn't given the virtue of patience. I've tried but it just escapes me.

The way I look at it is this:- each time I receive a card ---- it will be given a LOT of attention and I can ooooh and aaaah over it, rather than opening one after the other.
